im reminded of a thousand fires
burning millions of leaves
across countless forests
in the autumn of your eyes.
Cinder the planet
with the tongue flame
that dances on the pain
of your feigned good bye,
and turn to me again,
quietly. smiling in silence.
let me see the truth
scrawled across your skin,
scribed in sweat.
a pen that laughs at death.
god(ess) never lies,
when (s)he scribes poetry,
etched into the mixture
as he kneads our dna
into an eternity of children
to bear our truth.
i love you.
